How do i make a delay to taking damage?
I was making a part that deals damage but since roblox runs at lots of ticks per second, the damage is too frequent for me to use like i wish to use it. I need help finding a way to delay the frequency of the damage i take to an amount of seconds that i choose.
Here's my damage script:
local part = --reminder to do this
part.Touched:connect(function(hit)
if hit.Parent and hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then
hit.Parent.Humanoid:TakeDamage(1)
end
end)

I assume you want to use what we in the biz call debounce
local go = true
part.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
if go then
go = false
--We set go to false, so that if this event is fired before we set it to true after a second
--It won't get through the if statement
print("Code here")
wait(1)
go = true
end
end

Put a wait() Something like,
part.Touched:connect(function(hit)
if hit.Parent and hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then
wait(5) --time it will wait in seconds
hit.Parent.Humanoid:TakeDamage(1)
end
end
Sorry if I messed up, I'm on mobile
